Geocache Description:



The Crown Jewels - Artefact 4


------------------------//INCOMING ENCRYPTED MESSAGE//------------------------

Subject: Crown Jewels Theft (Evidence for Artefact 4)

Status: Artefact unfound.

Source of evidence: "Swindling Marco"

Evidence retrieved:

Marco's weakness appears to be a compulsion to track all his activity on his favourite fitness tracking app. So much so that he forgot to disable this after stealing the fourth artefact. He did realise this right at the point he hid the artefact and swiftly deleted his activity. However...

We have managed to retrieve the trace of his route from the app. However we were unable to obtain any GPS data. The trace does appear to show a significant change of pace towards the end of his journey.
